Last Friday, 8/23/13, Emory got her first (and hopefully last) set of PE tubes!
We knew it was inevitable because of the numerous double ear infections she's had.
We arrived at 6:00 a.m. to get checked in, paperwork filled out, and gown/bracelets on. I was SO nervous she would be upset because she wasn't allowed to have anything to eat or drink after midnight the night before. My girl loves to eat so I was sure she would be pitching a fit. She never whined or cried once! She played with her toys and while waiting on Dr. Sneed to come talk to us, she fell asleep on her Daddy.
It was a horrible feeling when they took her away from us but before we knew it (literally 15 minutes tops) they were calling us to come back and get her. As they warned us, she was really fussy when she came out of anesthesia. And really there was nothing I could do for her. She was able to have some apple juice which made things a little better but she was still fighting me and crying. It only lasted about 10-15 minutes before she fell asleep for good. She slept on the way home and took a good 45 minute nap in her bed once we got home. She was irritable throughout most of the day but slept all night in her bed and woke up the next morning perfectly happy.
We're so thankful it's over and all went well.
Praise the Lord!
Now if only we can keep the ear infections away!
